Evaluation of structural parameters to predict particle filtration and air permeability performance of woven textiles

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted environmental and supply issues related to single-use protective masks for both the general public and some healthcare workers. Reusable fabrics are an interesting alternative to disposable nonwovens and offer a prospect of protection in other fields such as against fine particles in urban areas. In this paper, the behavior of 22 woven fabrics regarding air permeability, simulating breathability through the material, and filtration against 3 µm diameter particles is invest… Show more

“…Although the dependency of the fabric structure on the yarn properties is well-known due to the hierarchical nature of textiles, it remains uncertain to what extent the filtration performance of knitted fabrics with the same knit design may vary depending on the yarn selection. 19 To investigate the role of yarn selection, the fabrics made from yarns with the same linear density were knitted with the same machine settings. Adjustments were made to the machine settings for those with different linear densities to obtain comparable structural integrity.…”

“…[15][16][17][18] The majority of the filtration studies have centered around nonwovens, which are used in surgical masks and respirators, and the developed filtration theories and models are based on the single fiber theory. 19 Since knitted fabrics are formed using tangled yarns, the knowledge of the filtration capability of nonwovens could not be directly adopted for knitted fabrics. Researchers conducted many studies investigating the filtration performance of available materials to prepare cloth masks.…”
